Fax integration

Inbound  fax capability is provided using a combination of the native T.37 fax  processing in the Cisco Integrated Services Routers, combined with the  message management of Cisco Unity Express. You can receive faxes using a  single or a separate direct-inward-dialing (DID) number, and you can  store messages in your mailbox or have them sent to your email client as  a TIFF file attachment through the Internet Message Access Protocol  (IMAP) capability or delivered in a GDM. You can select a fax machine to  print the fax that is stored in a GDM or in your personal mailbox.

I think this is what you are talking about. But if you're going to have your fax machine in the FXS there is no need of the CUE.
